It was quite amusing to watch my father stubbornly arguing with Athalia. Her face flushed with anger, while Dad did his best to contain his laughter, all the while giving her his most serious look.
"You never let me pet anything!" complained an angry Athalia.
"Who on earth pets a penguin?" Dad responded, looking up from his computer screen.
Liliath handed me a cup of coffee and observed them with a blank face.
"Last time, Alia wanted to pet a raccoon," Liliath mentioned to me, her gaze fixed on the penguin chick sleeping peacefully in Athalia's arms.
What an interesting choice of pets.
"Are you thinking of leaving again?" she asked, taking a seat beside me.
"I'm not sure, but I think I should stay this time," I admitted. Meeting everyone again after so many years had stirred up a sense of homesickness within me. Maybe this time, I could find an appropriate reason to stay.
Liliath gave me a small smile before taking a sip of her coffee. After a few minutes, one of the employees took the penguin away, and Athalia was still red with anger.
"So, this Athalia, does she live with Dad?" I asked Liliath curiously, as the most significant change that occurred after I left was this girl. Athalia.
It seems like Athalia has formed close relationships with everyone I know.
"Oh, I see. I mean, she lives in your same old mansion, and if you've decided to stay, I think you'll be living with her. As far as I know, your dad isn't home that often," Liliath explained.
"It's going to be a Tom and Jerry show then, I can easily tell by the death glares Alia is giving you, Cade," Vivene remarked from behind. I glanced up only to be met with Athalia's red face. She looked like a child who had just lost her chocolate.
Vivene kissed Liliath on the cheeks, and a faint blush appeared on her face. Am I still missing something?
"Cade, we have some news to share," said Vivene.
"Sure, go ahead." I sipped my coffee, curious about what they had to say. I nearly choked when I heard Liliath's words.
"We're dating."
Liliath and Vivene. Together. What else is waiting for me at home? Vivene was the girl who discovered she was a lesbian in high school, but Liliath, she was one of those beauty queens at school, always surrounded by boys. They were complete opposites.
